It was described as a magical book, highly requested in the American library system, despite not being about trout fishing itself.
And Yanni mentioned to me that part of their plan while they're driving around fishing is to read Trout Fishing in America.
Oh yeah. And I said to Yanni, well, you know, it doesn't really have anything to do with trout fishing. And he said, they know.

One of the most requested books in the entire American library system. It's right up there with Huckleberry Finn or something.

Did you at the time, were you reading like Trout Fishing in America by Brodigan?
Well, you know, I always liked Brodigan. He might be a little thin in retrospect, but I liked him at the time.
But Brodigan's still funny though, man. He is still funny.
